I have a 720 standard that has 18.4 x 30 rear tires. At some point in the past, someone cut the rims and welded in 4 inch spacers. The tractor still has 18.4's on it, they just set wider than would be normal. I had an old tire blowout the side so I found a good used tire and a new tube and put it together. That lasted for about 3 months and then slowly went flat. Broke it down and found two small holes on the rim side of the tube, probably from rust flakes. So I patched the tube and cleaned up the rim and reassembled. then 4 months later, out of the blue and the tractor is setting there flat again. Take the tire off and break it down, this time the tube has a blowout on the rim side about a foot and a half long. What would cause a blowout like that? this tube isnt even a year old. Is it possible that with my rim being wider that the 18.4 tube isnt able to handle stretching that much and I need to get a tube for a 23.1? Local tire guy says no, but I am still wondering. What would make a tube blowout on the inside facing the rim? After the first time the tube got the two little pin hole leaks, I cleaned it up and put a good coat of rust converter stuff on it to make it a pretty good finish, but is it possible it is still rough enough to pop the tube? Getting tired of breaking down this tire so appreciate any advice before I put another new tube in it this time.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
